I promise to nicer if you promise to be smarter.
I was cleaning one of my pick-up trucks today, when I stumbled upon an old analog Motorola bag phone unit. Since it was going into the trash, I popped it open, and got to thinking how far we've come along in electronics from even just a couple of years ago...

All the gizzards in this phone and then some, can now easily be fit into a footprint smaller than a pack of smokes.

Makes you wonder where the civilian electronic market will be in 20 years.

Terminator: Salvation.
 
It amazes me what they can do with electronics.... things that I want to see... A scanner and projector in a cell phone that can interface with bluetooth with my lap top.
 
Still suprises me with cameras how they can capture so much on something so small. I mean I know the neurological impulses of the mind to able to have the perception that we do when we see but being able to replicate that through such a simple and manageable device is downright remarkable..... I applaud cameras/videocameras as they progress :-D

I still hate mp3 players...it's bad enough a BIG ipod breaks so easy...so why give us an even smaller and unmanageable one? humph!

indeed...what I meant was how we see our surroundings can be so easily manipulated through an eletronic device(s).

Hell cameras could of viewed everything the way a fly or spider or dog does....so why the vision that WE see? The rods/cones in our eyes are just weird :P
 
Our eyes have a resolution of approx. 28 megapixels. Wide view, of course.

What is more perplexing than cameras, is memories. Let that ish sink in.
 
Nano-technology man, that's the future.

The fact that the gun isn't firing means that I don't want to kill anyone. :D
